* Added annex.resolvemerge configuration, which can be set to false to
disable the usual automatic merge conflict resolution done by git-annex
sync and the assistant.
* sync: Added --no-resolvemerge option.
Note that disabling merge conflict resolution is probably not a good idea
in a direct mode repo or adjusted branch. Since updates to both are done
outside the usual work tree, if it fails the tree is not left in a
conflicted state, and it would be hard to manually resolve the conflict.
Still, made annex.resolvemerge be supported in those cases for consistency.

When setting metadata of a file that did not exist, no error message was
displayed, unlike getting metadata and most other git-annex commands. Fixed
this oversight.
Note that, if the file exists but is not annexed, there's no error.
This is the same behavior as other git-annex commands.

There was documentation in 66285ca3d1,
but it was lost in the man page split.
I don't know if this --force is very useful. Considered removing it
instead..
* move --to=here moves from all reachable remotes to the local repository.
The output of move --from remote is changed slightly, when the remote and
local both have the content. It used to say:
move foo ok
Now:
move foo (from theremote...) ok
That was done so that, when move --to=here is used and the content is
locally present and also in several remotes, it's clear which remotes the
content gets dropped from.
Note that move --to=here will report an error if a non-reachable remote
contains the file, even if the local repository also contains the file. I
think that's reasonable; the user may be intending to move all other copies
of the file from remotes.
OTOH, if a copy of the file is believed to be present in some repository
that is not a configured remote, move --to=here does not report an error.
So a little bit inconsistent, but erroring in this case feels wrong.
copy --to=here came along for free, but it's basically the same behavior as
git-annex get, and probably with not as good messages in edge cases
(especially on failure), so I've not documented it.

Reworked remote name parsing to allow things like that. Command.Move
uses it for --to=here, although there's not yet an implementation of
that option.

See my comment. This only avoids the problem for -J; two git-annex
processes started at the same time could still both try to write to
.git/config and one fail. That would be very unlikely though, and it
doesn't really seem worth adding an additional layer of locking around
.git/config.

orElse is great, but was not the right thing to use here because
waitTakeLock could retry for other reasons than the lock being held,
which made tryTakeLock fail when it shouldn't.
Instead, move the code to tryTakeLock and implement waitTakeLock using
tryTakeLock and retry.
(Also, in runTransfer, when checkSaneLock fails, dropLock to avoid leaking a
lock handle.)
